Does anyoody understand air compressors and the cfm ratings?
I am preparing to buy an air compressor. I was told that in order to use certain air tools, the CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating on the compressor needed to exceed the cfm or scfm rating of the air tool. Unfortunately, most of the 110v air compressors that I’ve looked at, up to $400, don’t have the cfm output volume that various air tools require (as stated on their packaging). I find it difficult to believe the that I would need to buy an industrial 220v 10hp air compressor to get enough cfm to drive, say a sand blaster.
Anybody know about this? Your help would defintely be appreciated.
YOU HAVE HEARD CORRECTLY….THE AC MUST AT LEAST MEET THE CFM REQUIREMENTS OF THE TOOL…AND TO INSURE THE MAX USE OF THE TOOL MUST EXCEED THE CFM REQUIREMENT…
